Cohere Embed
Cohere's Embed is a leading multimodal embedding platform designed to transform text, images, or a combination of both into high-quality vector representations. These embeddings are optimized for semantic search, retrieval-augmented generation, classification, clustering, and agentic AI applications. The latest model, embed-v4.0, supports mixed-modality inputs, allowing users to combine text and images into a single embedding. It offers Matryoshka embeddings with configurable dimensions of 256, 512, 1024, or 1536, enabling flexibility in balancing performance and resource usage. With a context length of up to 128,000 tokens, embed-v4.0 is well-suited for processing large documents and complex data structures. It also supports compressed embedding types, including float, int8, uint8, binary, and ubinary, facilitating efficient storage and faster retrieval in vector databases. Multilingual support spans over 100 languages, making it a versatile tool for global applications.

NVIDIA NeMo Retriever
NVIDIA NeMo Retriever is a collection of microservices for building multimodal extraction, reranking, and embedding pipelines with high accuracy and maximum data privacy. It delivers quick, context-aware responses for AI applications like advanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic AI workflows. As part of the NVIDIA NeMo platform and built with NVIDIA NIM, NeMo Retriever allows developers to flexibly leverage these microservices to connect AI applications to large enterprise datasets wherever they reside and fine-tune them to align with specific use cases. NeMo Retriever provides components for building data extraction and information retrieval pipelines. The pipeline extracts structured and unstructured data (e.g., text, charts, tables), converts it to text, and filters out duplicates. A NeMo Retriever embedding NIM converts the chunks into embeddings and stores them in a vector database, accelerated by NVIDIA cuVS, for enhanced performance and speed of indexing.

Gemini Embedding
Gemini Embedding’s first text model (gemini-embedding-001) is now generally available via the Gemini API and Vertex AI, having held a top spot on the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark Multilingual leaderboard since its experimental launch in March, thanks to superior performance across retrieval, classification, and other embedding tasks compared to both legacy Google and external proprietary models. Exceptionally versatile, it supports over 100 languages with a 2,048‑token input limit and employs the Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) technique to let developers choose output dimensions of 3072, 153,6, or 768 for optimal quality, performance, and storage efficiency. Developers can access it through the existing embed_content endpoint in the Gemini API, and while legacy experimental versions will be deprecated later in 2025, migration requires no re‑embedding of existing content.
